Questions related to sponsoring spouse.

Hi
I have a question, can we sponsor spouse while living outside Canada as permanent resident, and is job in Canada is mandatory to sponsor a spouse? I got PR last year in 2019 and stayed in Canada 3 months and did Job for 2 months and then came back to home country for 5 months now, during this time I will get married and submit document to sponsor my spouse, but when i will land in Canada again I will not have any job and I want to submit documents as soon as land in Canada again. TIA

1. No, you must be living in Canada to sponsor a spouse if you are a PR.

2. A job itself is not mandatory, but if you don't have a job, an employer letter confirming your job, and a CRA notice of assessment, you must provide a detailed plan of how you will support yourself and your spouse for three years.

There is no requirement to be working to qualify to sponsor a spouse. There are no minimum income requirements to sponsor a spouse you just can't be on social assistance.

As said above, sponsoring a spouse while living working outside of Canada as a PR is not possible. This is only allowed if you are a citizen.

Please re read point 2. I didn't say you needed a letter from an employer, I said what you need to do if you don't have one.

Student loans are not considered social assistance. You will need to show how you can support yourselves in Canada which could be through savings.
